Abstract excerpt
This study describes the identification, function and molecular characterization of deadhead, a Drosophila thioredoxin homolog. Although in vitro studies have shown that thioredoxin can post-translationally regulate the activity of many different proteins, we find that this homolog is not essential for viability. The phenotypic analysis of two different mutations which eliminate function suggests that dhd is...
